Book of Fish and Fishing

Louis Rhead

Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. I believe we are on the verge of a revolution, both as to breeding and stocking, not only by the various States, but by private individuals who will take up fish culture as a commercial enter prise; while more advanced methods of taking fishes will be employed by means of better tackle and an intelligent use of it.
